“Currently, the U.S. admits more than 1.5 million legal and illegal immigrants every year, with more than 70 percent coming to the country through the process known as “chain migration” whereby newly naturalized citizens can bring an UNLIMITED relatives to the U.S. In the next 20 years, the current U.S. legal immigration system is on track to import 15 million new foreign-born voters. Between 7 and 8 million of those foreign-born will arrive in the U.S. through chain migration.” JOHN BINDER

Casting a shadow on economic recovery efforts in the United States is the
cost of illegal immigration that consumes U.S. taxpayer dollars for education,
healthcare, social welfare benefits, and criminal justice. Illegal aliens (or more
politically correct, “undocumented immigrants”) with ties to Mexican drug
cartels are contributing to death and destruction on U.S. lands along the
southern border.

While the declining job market in the United
States may be discouraging some would-be border crossers, a flow of illegal
aliens continues unabated, with many entering the United States as
drug-smuggling “mules.”
